Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh, Casper. Really, it's easier to just do the work now. Sigh, indeed.
For this trip, we all had to go downtown to get K a new passport because we suddenly noticed she only had 5 months left on hers and six months is required to get on the plane. FTR, yes, you can get a whole new passport in 24 hours or less so long as you can get an appointment and your ass to one of the passport agency offices, of which, there are not many.
a last minute "quick meeting" that DOESN'T change anything significant? Feels like high blood pressure for no reason to me.
I'm not sure which is worse. Glad it's not ongoing stress, I guess?
HAPPY JILLI DAY I'm gonna change into my Cranky Pants when I get home in your honor.
Have fun, Sparky1!
Good luck with dealing with the reorg, Suzi. It's stressful for the people who don't get laid off, too, you are allowed to complain!
Oh, Casper.
Oh, crap, despite y'all seemingly reminding me every time I turn around I STILL have not renewed my passport. I think it expires in December. I'd better google what to do right now...
Happy Birthday Jilli!
Casper, kiddo. Do not do what I did one year and completely fail math because I never did my homework. It's a trick that doesn't pay off.
That whole just do the damn homework in a timely fashion lesson is a tough one to sink in.
It's very sad when the free pie in the lunch room is not only not good pie, but is bad pie. Whatever bakery they went to used the absolute wrong apples in the apple pie. Perhaps that's why there was so much pie left over from the other department's shindig that it was put before the locusts of Tech Support.

Yeah. We're trying to get L to learn that one too. I've started having daily scrum meetings with him and tracking his homework on a Kanban board. It's very software-development-y but it seems to be helping.
I had a reasonably good meeting with my manager today, and he told me that he wanted me to be more aggressive with our team. I told him to remember he asked for this during our next annual review period.

That's code for "bring your chainsaw to work."
Oh! I meant to post this earlier, because I am rolling my eyes FOREVER: my otherwise incredibly smart antivaxxer friend posted a link on FB about a Chrome extension that will show you which links are from bullshit fake news sites and whatnot. (That part is cool.)
...he posted it immediately AFTER he shared a link from FoodBabe, without a trace of irony. I am not making that up.
I know we all have blind spots, but his is a mile wide on this thing. Sheesh.
